Adhyaya 39 — Yoga Discipline: Posture, Breath Control, Sense Withdrawal, and Signs of Attainment
सञ्चाद्य निर्मले सत्त्वे स्थितो युञ्जीत योगवित् । इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यः प्राणादीन् मन एव च ॥
sañchādya nirmale sattve sthito yuñjīta yogavit | indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyaḥ prāṇādīn mana eva ca ||
নিম্ন প্রবৃত্তিগুলি দমন করে এবং শুদ্ধ সত্ত্বে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়ে যোগজ্ঞ ব্যক্তি যোগে নিয়োজিত হোক। ইন্দ্রিয়সমূহকে বিষয় থেকে নিবৃত্ত করে, প্রাণ প্রভৃতি বায়ু ও মনকেও সংযত করুক।

Ethically, mastery is inward: true discipline is the withdrawal of compulsive engagement with objects and the steadying of breath and mind.
Instructional yoga material (upadeśa), not a pañcalakṣaṇa narrative segment.
Purified sattva is treated as the necessary ‘medium’ for higher states; without it, prāṇa and mind remain turbulent and pratyāhāra/dhāraṇā do not stabilize.
